PRIVATE MARKETS AND PUBLIC CHOICE EKELUND R., RESSLER R., TOLLISON R. Księgarnia

Maximizing happiness means more than maximizing wealth, and yet many students assume economists only care about "the bottom line." Economics: Private Markets and Public Choice emphasizes that economics is, at its base, about our society's well-being and our individual happiness in all forms, not just profit. The authors teach students to apply economic concepts not only to key policy decisions like taxes, inflation, and free trade, but also to personal decisions such as household finance, marriage, and career choices.

The Seventh Edition is enhanced by MyEconLab, the online homework system featuring automatically graded graphing problems and proven tutorial tools. Access to MyEconLab comes with every new textbook at no additional cost to the student.

Features

The authors build a solid foundation in basic, modern economic theory and connect that theory with policy, issues, and news in today's world through hundreds of applications and examples.
In the Economics After College features, students think about how they can balance their personal goals with their monetary goals to maximize their individual happiness.
Through Economics in Real Time, students look at the 'big picture' of economics by analyzing national and global issues such as Social Security, free trade, and the state of U.S. agriculture.
What's in It for You? builds decision-making skills by framing everyday actions in economic terms, such as balancing a checkbook or buying scalped concert tickets.
Point/Counterpoint features, which appear at the end of each Part, look at pivotal debates in policy by presenting the opposing viewpoints of two renowned economists.
The authors explore the extent to which society's welfare is advanced when markets are used to allocate resources to their most desired private uses.The text includes an extensive discussion of environmental economics and market approaches to such problems as pollution, endangered species, and finite natural resources.
In microeconomics, Chapters 1-13 offer a precise discussion of core microeconomic theory, followed by applied microeconomics topics (Chapters 14-15) and a thoughtful discussion of public choice (Chapter 16).
In macroeconomics, the text follows a simple, orderly structure of modern macroeconomic theory and policy that uses a historical transition from classical economics (Chapter 19) to Keynesian economics (Chapter 20) to aggregate demand and supply (Chapter 21).
MyEconLab, Addison-Wesley's online homework and tutorial solution, provides your students with targeted feedback and an individualized study plan to keep them focused on key economic concepts in every chapter.
